A potentially contaminated water line led health officials to order a boil water advisory for a stretch of Tecumseh Road East between Little River and Banwell Road, according to the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit.

A water sample collected by EnWin Utilities staff created the concern Friday afternoon because counts E. Coli and Total Coliform registering at greater levels than provincial water quality standards.

The advisory ordered by medical health officer Dr. Gary Kirk includes people living between 9225 and 11475 Tecumseh Road East.

There are no reported illnesses so far. Residents are urged to only use bottled water or water brought to a hard boil for one minute.

Customers are advised to contact the EnWin Utilities call centre at 519-255-2727 for more details about the advisory.
